I differ in my opinion than you. You maybe think success is achieved by making one's whole living off the farm. I farm as a sideline to my decent paying full time job. I didn't have the luxury of having the reins of a "turnkey" operation handed to me when I finished college. By no means do I suggest that is the case with you, Married2Allis! When my father was in a position to retire from farming, I recognized there wasn't enough there to support me and my family AND pay a respectable rent to him. I have invested in upgrading the equipment lineup and increased productivity on the farm through various improvements, thus making it a highly productive farm. I am not "in hock" at the bank or with Case or JD Credit. I enjoy my time on the farm, and the work and expansion efforts I do today, are intended for the time I can "cut myself loose" from my current job, farming full time in doing what I had always wanted to do, and maybe stall off official retirement until I turn 70. Until then, I work the decent paying job I have for my primary income. Enjoying life, enjoying what I do and want to do, and living in a financially secure way in my working years and hopefully in my retirement years is how I gage my success. I am grateful I recognized I could not make a living for my family solely from the farm before I jumped in with nothing but a hard struggle.
